The Dimensionality Transition between Three-Dimensional and Two-Dimensional Organic Microcrystals: Specific Symmetry and Selective Adhesion.

ABSTRACT: A three-dimensional-two-dimensional dimensionality transition of organic microcrystals was performed via elongated octahedrons, oblique octahedrons, diamond-like particles, and parallelograms using nonplanar 2,7-di(9H-carbazol-9-yl)spiro[fluorene-9,9'-xanthene] molecules. The specific crystal symmetry and selective adhesion of P123 on the {11-1}s facet are supposed to induce the morphological transition.

Three-dimensional periodic supramolecular organic framework ion sponge in water and microcrystals.

Project description:Self-assembly has emerged as a powerful approach to generating complex supramolecular architectures. Despite there being many crystalline frameworks reported in the solid state, the construction of highly soluble periodic supramolecular networks in a three-dimensional space is still a challenge. Here we demonstrate that the encapsulation motif, which involves the dimerization of two aromatic units within cucurbit[8]uril, can be used to direct the co-assembly of a tetratopic molecular block and cucurbit[8]uril into a periodic three-dimensional supramolecular organic framework in water. The periodicity of the supramolecular organic framework is supported by solution-phase small-angle X-ray-scattering and diffraction experiments. Upon evaporating the solvent, the periodicity of the framework is maintained in porous microcrystals. As a supramolecular 'ion sponge', the framework can absorb different kinds of anionic guests, including drugs, in both water and microcrystals, and drugs absorbed in microcrystals can be released to water with selectivity.

Three-dimensional electron crystallography of protein microcrystals.

Project description:We demonstrate that it is feasible to determine high-resolution protein structures by electron crystallography of three-dimensional crystals in an electron cryo-microscope (CryoEM). Lysozyme microcrystals were frozen on an electron microscopy grid, and electron diffraction data collected to 1.7 Å resolution. We developed a data collection protocol to collect a full-tilt series in electron diffraction to atomic resolution. A single tilt series contains up to 90 individual diffraction patterns collected from a single crystal with tilt angle increment of 0.1-1° and a total accumulated electron dose less than 10 electrons per angstrom squared. We indexed the data from three crystals and used them for structure determination of lysozyme by molecular replacement followed by crystallographic refinement to 2.9 Å resolution. This proof of principle paves the way for the implementation of a new technique, which we name 'MicroED', that may have wide applicability in structural biology.

Symmetry-restoring quantum phase transition in a two-dimensional spinor condensate.

Project description:Bose Einstein condensates of spin-1 atoms are known to exist in two different phases, both having spontaneously broken spin-rotation symmetry, a ferromagnetic and a polar condensate. Here we show that in two spatial dimensions it is possible to achieve a quantum phase transition from a polar condensate into a singlet phase symmetric under rotations in spin space. This can be done by using particle density as a tuning parameter. Starting from the polar phase at high density the system can be tuned into a strong-coupling intermediate-density point where the phase transition into a symmetric phase takes place. By further reducing the particle density the symmetric phase can be continuously deformed into a Bose-Einstein condensate of singlet atomic pairs. We calculate the region of the parameter space where such a molecular phase is stable against collapse.

Directional scaling symmetry of high-symmetry two-dimensional lattices.

Project description:Two-dimensional lattices provide the arena for many physics problems of essential importance, a scale symmetry, which rarely exists as noticed by Galileo, in such lattices can help reveal the underlying physics. Here we report the discovery and proof of directional scaling symmetry for high symmetry 2D lattices, i.e., the square lattice, the equilateral triangular lattice and thus the honeycomb lattice, with aid of the function y = arcsin(sin(2πxn)), where the parameter x is either the platinum number μ = 2 - √3 or the silver number λ = √2 - 1, which are related to the 12-fold and 8-fold quasiperiodic structures, respectively. The directions and scale factors for the symmetric scaling transformation are determined. The revealed scale symmetry may have a bearing on various physical problems modeled on 2D lattices, and the function adopted here can be used to generate quasiperiodic lattices with enumeration of lattice points. Our result is expected to initiate the search of directional scaling symmetry in more complicated geometries.

Symmetry-enforced three-dimensional Dirac phononic crystals.

Project description:Dirac semimetals, the materials featuring fourfold degenerate Dirac points, are critical states of topologically distinct phases. Such gapless topological states have been accomplished by a band-inversion mechanism, in which the Dirac points can be annihilated pairwise by perturbations without changing the symmetry of the system. Here, we report an experimental observation of Dirac points that are enforced completely by the crystal symmetry using a nonsymmorphic three-dimensional phononic crystal. Intriguingly, our Dirac phononic crystal hosts four spiral topological surface states, in which the surface states of opposite helicities intersect gaplessly along certain momentum lines, as confirmed by additional surface measurements. The novel Dirac system may release new opportunities for studying elusive (pseudo) and offer a unique prototype platform for acoustic applications.

Three-fold rotational defects in two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides.

Project description:As defects frequently govern the properties of crystalline solids, the precise microscopic knowledge of defect atomic structure is of fundamental importance. We report a new class of point defects in single-layer transition metal dichalcogenides that can be created through 60° rotations of metal-chalcogen bonds in the trigonal prismatic lattice, with the simplest among them being a three-fold symmetric trefoil-like defect. The defects, which are inherently related to the crystal symmetry of transition metal dichalcogenides, can expand through sequential bond rotations, as evident from in situ scanning transmission electron microscopy experiments, and eventually form larger linear defects consisting of aligned 8-5-5-8 membered rings. First-principles calculations provide insights into the evolution of rotational defects and show that they give rise to p-type doping and local magnetic moments, but weakly affect mechanical characteristics of transition metal dichalcogenides. Thus, controllable introduction of rotational defects can be used to engineer the properties of these materials.

Plurigon: three dimensional visualization and classification of high-dimensionality data.

Project description:High-dimensionality data is rapidly becoming the norm for biomedical sciences and many other analytical disciplines. Not only is the collection and processing time for such data becoming problematic, but it has become increasingly difficult to form a comprehensive appreciation of high-dimensionality data. Though data analysis methods for coping with multivariate data are well-documented in technical fields such as computer science, little effort is currently being expended to condense data vectors that exist beyond the realm of physical space into an easily interpretable and aesthetic form. To address this important need, we have developed Plurigon, a data visualization and classification tool for the integration of high-dimensionality visualization algorithms with a user-friendly, interactive graphical interface. Unlike existing data visualization methods, which are focused on an ensemble of data points, Plurigon places a strong emphasis upon the visualization of a single data point and its determining characteristics. Multivariate data vectors are represented in the form of a deformed sphere with a distinct topology of hills, valleys, plateaus, peaks, and crevices. The gestalt structure of the resultant Plurigon object generates an easily-appreciable model. User interaction with the Plurigon is extensive; zoom, rotation, axial and vector display, feature extraction, and anaglyph stereoscopy are currently supported. With Plurigon and its ability to analyze high-complexity data, we hope to see a unification of biomedical and computational sciences as well as practical applications in a wide array of scientific disciplines. Increased accessibility to the analysis of high-dimensionality data may increase the number of new discoveries and breakthroughs, ranging from drug screening to disease diagnosis to medical literature mining.

CdGAP regulates cell migration and adhesion dynamics in two-and three-dimensional matrix environments.

Project description:CdGAP is a Rac1/Cdc42 specific GTPase activating protein (GAP) that localizes to cell-matrix adhesions through an interaction with the adhesion scaffold ?-parvin/actopaxin to regulate lamellipodia formation and cell spreading. Herein, we demonstrate, using a combination of siRNA-mediated silencing and overexpression, that cdGAP negatively regulates directed and random migration by controlling adhesion maturation and dynamics through the regulation of both adhesion assembly and disassembly. Interestingly, cdGAP was also localized to adhesions formed in three-dimensional (3D) matrix environments and cdGAP depletion promoted cancer cell migration and invasion through 3D matrices. These findings highlight the importance of GAP proteins in the regulation of Rho family GTPases and the coordination of the cell migration machinery..

Novel Two- and Three-Dimensional Organometallic-Organic Hybrid Materials Based on Polyphosphorus Complexes.

Project description:The reaction of the silver salt Ag[Al{OC(CF3)3}4] (1) with the P2 ligand complex [Cp2Mo2(CO)4(η(2)-P2)] (2) and the organic ditopic linker trans-1,2-di(pyridine-4-yl)ethene (dpe) results in the formation of four novel organometallic-organic hybrid compounds. Depending on the reaction conditions, the two-dimensional networks [{Cp2Mo2(CO)4(μ4,η(1:1:2:2)-P2)}(μ,η(1:1)-C12H10N2)Ag]n[Al{OC(CF3)3}4]n·0.075nCH2Cl2·1.425nC6H6 (3) and [{Cp2Mo2(CO)4(μ3,η(2:2:2)-P2)}2(μ,η(1:1)-C12H10N2)3Ag2]n[Al{OC(CF3)3}4]2n·2nC7H8 (4) are accessible. The latter shows a two-dimensional (2D) → 2D interpenetration structure. Furthermore, the formation of a unique three-dimensional polymer [{Cp2Mo2(CO)4(μ4,η(1:1:2:2)-P2)}(μ,η(1:1)-C12H10N2)Ag]n[Al{OC(CF3)3}4]n·0.3nCH2Cl2 (5b) together with another 2D polymer [{Cp2Mo2(CO)4(μ4,η(1:1:2:2)-P2)}(μ,η(1:1)-C12H10N2)3Ag2]n[Al{OC(CF3)3}4]2n·0.75CH2Cl2·0.5C7H8 (5a) was observed. In three of these polymers, unprecedented organometallic nodes were realized including one, two, or even four silver cations. All products were characterized by X-ray structural analysis and classified by the structural characteristics in three different network topologies.
